@kentindell @nuthatch @danluu there is so much wrong with these statements.
1. PCs from 10 years ago compared to car on-board computer from this year are bleeding edge technology.
2. Why update of media computer should brick entire car? It's like if burned out light bulb brought down entire power grid.

3. If problem domain so more difficult, then making updates not break system should be a breeze. Even if update is broken for some reason, entire High Avaliability world knows to boot from backup for more than 20 years.
4. It already went wrong. And given how wrong it went, I don't trust that people will not "be injured or die" as result of such incompetence.

@uis @nuthatch @danluu It’s not updating the “media computer”. Try to understand how cars work before making these assertions.

Great, did it brick engine controller? So, do you still belive such incompetence will not result in injuries or deaths?

If someone cannot write software update in such way that doesn't turn dangerous hunk of metal into useless dangerous hunk of metal, said one should not be allowed to write critical software for it.
Of course there is another question why it even needs update.
